🥈 Oliver Higgins
Representative pathway — 2 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Regional representative — 12 matches (+1.8)
- ● Body of work — 33 imported matches (+0.7)
Critical recommendations
Strike rate of 44.2 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.
12 of 24 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
Strengths
- ✓ Genuine wicket-taker — bowling average of 12.1.
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 2.52.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 26 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 72 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.57 for the level played (Rep Div 1 12 · Club 9). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 21 matches since 26 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 1 run outs (1 direct, 0 assisted) in 33 matches — 0.27 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 26 innings at 20.3 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 32 wickets in 26 matches bowled in (of 33 played) — 1.23 per match at 12.1, economy 2.52, strike rate 28.8.
